I'm suggesting that whoever currently has admin rights on the PyPi packaging servers, and it's someone, take responsibility for this and physically remove the typosquatting libs from the lookup mechanism. "We need donations before we can do that" doesn't pass muster as far as I'm concerned; leaving this unaddressed is an existential issue for PyPI.
There are already privately-maintained repositories and that's great, but IMO it's not an excuse for PyPi to leave this vulnerability open.
